Airbus A380 Under Fire

A year ago, Mangan told European aviation authorities that he believed there were problems with a computer chip on the Airbus A380, the biggest and costliest commercial airliner ever built."

    Dude, I score mod points almost every other day. Yes, I metamoderate like a motherfucker. Good news for you, I relish the opportunity to smack Troll/Flamebait/Offtopic/Redundant mods that are out of line. Metamoderate at every opportunity. It's the best way to take back /., man.

    Almost every time I get a point of karma, I get points to use within a day or two. I tend to leave them until I find something where a lot of points are being made (good and bad) and then blast through them all, usually spending them on scores of 1 (occasionally knocking someone out of common view) and 2, but occasionally tapping higher numbers.

    I dunno. Not so important to me here. I have my good karma, and I'm happy.

    Right - because there are autopilot programs that can land an airliner.
